Stand up total passes £17,000

Saturday’s pay what you like fundraiser has helped to push the Stand up for the Stones total to £17,000.

Donations in excess of £3,000 were made on the turnstiles ahead of the Concord Rangers friendly, with all proceeds going towards the new terraced stand at the north end of the Gallagher Stadium.

Stones chief executive Bill Williams said: “Pay what you like was a worthwhile exercise. It’s helped boost the fundraising total and encouraged a few people to visit for the first time. Hopefully they’ll come back during the season and enjoy some matches in the Vanarama National League.
